266 Roadshow, Learning

"Zhang, it's a pleasure for you to come to the roadshow. Zuckerberg was very happy, and the shy looking guy reached out and held Zhang Xian's hand tightly, "I know you're busy right now, but Facebook needs you right now." ”

"Of course, it's in my interest. Zhang Xian smiled and shook Zuckerberg's hand, looking very emotional, "I will try to do what I should do, and I will try to try to convince investors." ”

"I'm sure those people will be willing to hear what you think, you're an investment genius, you have too many successful investment projects. And they're worried that Facebook won't be able to enter the Chinese market. That would be Facebook's new breakthrough point, and if we want to build a social empire without 1.3 billion people, it won't be a complete social networking site. ”

Hearing Zuckerberg say this, Zhang Xian just smiled.

He is actually a person along the way with Zuckerberg, Zuckerberg seems to be a very shy person, but a shy person does not mean that he will not be black-hearted. In fact, Zuckerberg is not sunny or simple, otherwise he would not have teamed up with Zhu Jiarun and others to drive away and dilute Eduardo Savirin's shares.

Zhang Xian is actually similar, some people think that Zhang Xian is low-key and cheerful, but this guy is a smiling tiger. At least he knows it in his heart, and many times he likes to do something harmful to others and himself within the scope of the rules. He's a pragmatist through and through, with no ambitions or a desire to set trends and change the world.

Perhaps many people are optimistic about Facebook's entry into the Chinese market, and feel that Facebook is extremely popular in Europe and the United States and has become a social empire. But Zhang Xian is not so optimistic, and the reason is simple.

The reason why people use a social software is only one reason for making friends and having a good interactive experience, but more because other people around you are using it, and you must use it if you want to contact them, which is why more and more people are moving from penguins to >Domestic social software and social platforms are almost enough to have a penguin, WeChat, and Weibo. Not everyone wants to be friends with foreigners, especially if there is a language barrier. Because I am curious and want to make friends with foreigners, but I don't understand the language and culture, there are a few foreigners who are willing to make friends deeply!

The most important thing is that users are used to it, and getting used to these current products may not necessarily be able to accept new products.

It's also because many people can still go up to see what is new at first, and think about meeting friends from different cultures. But what I saw was a screen full of missionaries and purchasing agents, overwhelming advertisements and pushes, and then these missionaries and purchasing agents knew a bunch of very Western-style propaganda and various remarks.

The superiority of the West in telecommunications, the typical you should be criticized and accepted if you are not boiled, even if the process is painful, even if you ruin the current achievements, but you should be boiled, because the West is boiled and superior.

Facebook is an international thing, and the problem is that several of these users have their own countries with a complete online industry. Obviously, Chinese users don't need it, because China's Internet industry is very developed and more and more complete.

Many social networking sites will understand a truth after using it a lot, even if it is always only pushing you what you want to see.

Zach thinks it's true to communicate with the world, but it is necessary to respect some basic rules of the Chinese market, and it is normal to be banned with a strong sense of superiority and pointing fingers at other people's affairs. And it symbolizes freedom, cooking, and then running with a gentlemanly demeanor or something, everyone just laughs and laughs, people are interested in users, money!

Twitter and Weibo are very similar, at least the functions are very similar at first glance, but some of China's habits are completely different from those of Europe and the United States. A lot of people in China like to join in the fun, and there's no doubt that Twitter is certainly not as good as Weibo in this regard.

Some people in Europe and the United States cannot understand Chinese culture and customs, they think privacy is important, so they see a lot of cameras on the street, and these people say that they don't respect privacy, that this is to strengthen surveillance, and so on.

Obviously, they have learned something that is not my race, and their hearts will be different!

And with an inexplicable sense of superiority, I think I have to learn from them, otherwise I have a lot to say.

Zhang Xian knows this very well, he has been in the United States for a while, he knows some things, and he also knows very well that Zuckerberg and others are actually interested in the Chinese market. What is the Chinese wife, it is true that his wife is Chinese, but she doesn't know a few words of Chinese, and it is impossible to agree with the view that even if he is a descendant of Yan and Huang, such a person is looking for a reason to open the market.

Of course, Zhang Xian does not deny the feelings between them, but if he respects or something with an identity, then forget it, at least Zhang Xian doesn't believe in these. If you really want to be respectful, then take care of the content of Facebook.

Mr. Zhang sat with his legs crossed, listening to Facebook executives doing their usual routine demonstrations. Questions are also beginning to be answered, such as the future in China, plans to boost revenue through mobile products, and the recent acquisition of photo-sharing platform Instagram.

I want to have a good chat with the government and discuss cooperation, and Zach has expressed his determination to win the Chinese market, because if the market of 1.3 billion people is missing, how can we talk about connecting the whole world. So Zuckerberg said he has maintained the habit of spending at least two hours studying Chinese for many years.

The dense crowd of investors at the roadshow showed that the market was optimistic about Facebook, and many analysts and analysts also expressed their opinions.

Zhang Xian listened carefully and learned, because the listing of Weibo will soon begin, Zhang Xian naturally has to learn how to make investors more optimistic, how to make analysts more optimistic, and how to make the market accept.

Zhang Xian tidied up his suit, and he was ready to speak.

Standing on the stage, Zhang Xian had a faint smile on his face, nothing to be nervous about, "It's a pleasure to come to the roadshow for Facebook listing, although I came here as an agent, as the agent of Facebook's second largest shareholder." Of course, it also represents some views on the Chinese market. Obviously, I am fluent in English now, but I am Chinese. ”

simply made a little joke, not how many people were amused by the talk show, it was just a simple talk.

"A lot of people are concerned about Facebook's entry into China, and I don't think there's anything to worry about. In the case of Internet companies, success doesn't always depend on government support. Facebook's achievements around the world are well documented, and I believe it can catch up with consumers. ”

That's right, but it's hard to say that a few people believe this sentence, at least Zhang Xian himself doesn't believe it.

"Let's talk about the advantages of entering the Chinese market and the opportunities that come with a country of 1.3 billion people. Although Facebook is the second largest shareholder, Zhang Xian is the majority shareholder of Weibo, "Young Chinese online crowd, everyone knows that more and more Chinese are traveling out of China, and there are thousands of Chinese students studying at universities abroad." Both groups of people are young and are online almost all the time. ”

If Facebook were to enter China, it would be entering a highly competitive market with a very different culture, business environment and other characteristics than it has previously seen in other markets around the world.

This is indeed a serious challenge, but it is also a huge cake, even if you can only look at this cake and can't eat it now, but Zhang Xian, Zuckerberg and others have to do even if they paint the cake, this is the most important thing. Of course, it is important that Facebook does not enter China, but it cannot be ruled out that this is a means of attracting investors.

Zhang Xian's first roadshow was not a success, but it was not a failure either, showing his face a little, chatting with some investors a little, and answering some questions. This is not much difficult for Zhang Xian, because many of the questions he answers are basically clichΓ©s without gold content.

It is indeed necessary to paint an optimistic outlook, even if some people will question it, but as the second largest shareholder of Facebook and the actual benefit recipient, Zhang Xian will certainly not make trouble for himself. What's more, Weibo is going to be listed, and Zhang Xian naturally needs to perform well at this time, because Weibo is actually more complicated than Facebook, there is no doubt about it.

Facebook's market is still in Europe and the United States, even if they do not enter the Chinese market, they will be optimistic, and now Facebook has this confidence. They can stick to some of their points that they need to think about not entering the Chinese market for the sake of so-called freedom, Western-style freedom. But Weibo is not good, Weibo does not plan to go out of China, but this will also make many investors worried.

Worried about the government's control, everyone knows very well that social platforms do not represent real freedom, and everyone is also very clear that if they encounter some lines, they will definitely not be able to mix in China. Facebook doesn't need to worry about this, but Weibo cannot. In this way, there will be more questions and doubts from investors, which will affect the value of Weibo.

"It feels okay, investors do feel that there are some problems, but the problems are not very big. Back at the hotel, Zhang Xian called Zhu Jiarun, "I think that if our Weibo is listed on the NASDAQ in the future, such a thing will definitely be encountered, and it will definitely be more severe than the challenges encountered by Facebook now." ”

Zhu Jiarun leaned on the head of the bed, touched his lower abdomen and said, "There is definitely no way to avoid such a thing, that is the rule of their game." I think your performance is good, you are optimistic about the development of the country, and you have not offended anyone. In foreign countries, although there are some people who please investors, everyone is in this style. It's not bad, at least you didn't smear the country. ”

Zhang Xian smiled, laughing extremely happily, "That's, I really can't do it yet, I know it's definitely not okay to be a wall grass." But some principled things are still relatively insistent, and I'm just worried about some trouble now. We're now the second largest shareholder of Facebook, but you know a lot of it isn't very good. ”

"It's really a bit of a concern, and it's a real nuisance. But you can't get the benefits and don't care about anything, there are things in the inside and face, it's really too difficult. Zhu Jiarun was also very helpless, because she knew that this scene would happen sooner or later, "Let's pick it out when the time comes, this troublesome matter is too difficult to deal with." ”

It seems that this is the only way, because a lot of troublesome things really have to be dealt with, and they really can't be handled.

To put it simply, Facebook also knows the biggest problem that they can't enter the Chinese market, but in order to cater to the Chinese market, then basically they have to lose users in Europe and the United States, which is definitely not worth it.

In fact, many companies are in a dilemma even if they are like this, although there may be talk of trade freedom and globalization. But sometimes, these things are just thinking about it, because it's not realistic.

Because government, ideology, or long-term public impressions, etc., are not so easy to resolve, and there are no small conflicts here. There are really no good benefits to wanting to have it both ways, especially on social networking sites, because their position is often to get the applause of one party and basically offend the other.

chatted with Zhu Jiarun about work for a while, and soon changed to talking about children, which is the focus of the two people's concerns, and this is the focus of the two people's lives now.

And it's also because Zhu Jiarun has basically quit her job now, although she is still Zhang Xian's personal advisor, think tank, and virtuous helper. But she still prefers to raise a baby, this is what she wants to do now, and this is Zhu Jiarun's positioning for herself. The work was handed over to Zhang Xian, and she knew that Zhang Xian could do a good job.

Zhang Xian, who was in a good mood, woke up, although he was the only one in this empty room now, but he felt good, he liked the sun very much, and he liked the floor-to-ceiling windows like this.

The assistant came, and Zhang Xian felt that it was now the real clothes to reach out and open his mouth, which was beyond doubt. There was nothing to order, because it was all arranged, and there was no need to do the schedule, and these people took care of his time. There is no need to worry about even speeches and the like, the arrangements have been made long ago, and the flowers are full and leaky.

Zhang Xian enjoys this kind of treatment very much, it is really a very comfortable and comfortable environment, and it is really a particularly cool arrangement. Who made him a big boss now, and who made him a successful person now, so this kind of treatment seems to be very normal.

Zhang Xian, who is in a good mood, continues to follow Facebook's senior management team on the roadshow, preparing for the upcoming Facebook listing.

is full of expectations, although Zhang Xian can only be regarded as a small role that is not very important in this process, but he feels good. Even if he participated in this process, the most important thing is that Zhang Xian has gained a lot; not to say direct benefits, but to say that Zhang Xian's experience and insight have improved somewhat!
